In return for Don't Sue Me
I thought the motivation behind the Google company decision was the lawsuits that publishers filed against both the news aggregation and the listing in Google search results. At least originally, it was more the newspapers giving permission so they couldn't sue Google if their copy appeared anywhere on the Google site.

My bet is that if the Italians passed a law that said that a newspaper could not take action against a news aggregator or lister on their search results the whole Google prohibitions would go away.

Unless, of course, the real reason is to force Google to inject cash into the Italian economy.
